I grew up in a small town that had home milk delivery, but no mail delivery. Everyone went to the Post Office each morning to check their lockboxes. It was almost a "rite of passage" when your Dad gave you the combination to the family PO Box.
And every night, the outgoing mail from the Post Office would be in a sack hanging from a post by the RR tracks. In the distance you could hear the CMStP&P flyer coming. And before you knew it, the train had came through town at 70mph...and that sack of mail was gone...snatched by the RPO (railroad post office), right before your eyes!
I must be a rock, because I sure as heck feel older than dirt!
PS: In regard to Studebakers...remember the 1964 Wagonaire that had the retractable rear roof? Just like the new GMC Envoy that is being promoted as the latest thing in engineering!
